Governor Greg Abbott has officially signed the first bill of the session into law, establishing a Texas version of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This initiative aims to streamline regulatory processes and enhance business friendliness in the state. The legislation, which secured approval from both chambers of the Texas Legislature, reflects a response to what Abbott described as an overly burdensome regulatory environment. With this new office, Texas hopes to improve efficiency across various state operations, following a similar model seen in other regions.
